The Shirelles and King Curtis Give a Twist Party is a 1962 collaborative album between American blues and rhythm and blues saxophonist King Curtis and girl group The Shirelles. In 1968, the album was re-released as Eternally Soul.

Reception[edit]

Editors of AllMusic Guide gave this album three out of five stars, with critic Richie Unterberger characterizing the release as "respectable but not terribly exciting, and a bit schizo in concept", due to alternating tracks between the musical acts rather than having them collaborate directly.[1] In a review of reissues for Billboard, Chris Morris called this album a "bopping session".[2]
